METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING PAYMENT RATES - OTHER TYPES OF CARE
January 1, 2022
Effective for dates of service on or after October 1, 1997, reimbursement is based on the lesser of the provider's actual charge for the service or the Title XIX (Medicaid) maximum. The Title XIX (Medicaid) maximum established was based on a 1997 survey of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers. The information obtained in the survey indicated there is only one major manufacturer and distributor of the aerochamber devices (with or without mask) to providers enrolled in the Arkansas Medicaid Program. It was determined the aerochamber devices are sold to each provider for the same price. As a result, the current Title XIX (Medicaid) maximum for the aerochamber devices (with or without mask) was established based on the actual manufacturer's list prices. Thereafter, adjustments will be made based on the consumer price index factor to be implemented at the beginning of the appropriate State Fiscal Year, July 1.
Reimbursement is based on the lesser of the provider's actual charge for the service or the Title XIX (Medicaid) maximum. Effective for claims with dates of service on or after May 1, 1995, the Title XIX (Medicaid) maximums were established utilizing the manufacturer's current published suggested retail price less 15%. The 15% is the median of Oklahoma Medicaid which is currently retail less 12% and Texas Medicaid which is currently retail less 18%. Effective for claims with dates of service on or after September 1, 1995, the following Kaye Products, procedure codes Z2059, Z2060, Z2061 and Z2062, are reimbursed at the manufacturer's current published suggested retail price. The State Agency and affected provider association representatives will review the rates annually and negotiate any adjustments.
